The book is one of the best summeries of where we are at and where we are going I have read in a long time. Very upto date. I think the Republicans and the Democrats on this page will both find it useful reading.
One of the best little ideas so far, Alternitive Energy should be set as this gererations space race.
The more I think about that the more I am sad to see the hippies and consperacy therory nut cases embrasing solar power and bio diesel while the industrial leaders, middle class and government embrase middle east oil, that gives others a chance to mess with our interest. It should be the other way around. The bleading harts should be saying dont stop using oil what will all these contries do for income? While the middle class and government should be saying let us develop new technologies and inovate our way out of oil while making our selves a heap of money at the same time.
The book covers far more than that issue, read the post on the link above.
